How do you take the brush cover off to fix the belt?

The gear that turns the dual brushes on my Bissell Spot Lifter 1716 seems to be stripped. The belt looks loose as well, but when I take the belt cover and the brush assembly out, the gear that turns the brushes is loose and appears to be stripped on the cogs. When I turn the machine on the belt turns the gear but the brushes just sit there an vibrate. They make an attempt to turn now and then but not much. Need to get a schematic or the parts so I can order the gear if it is available and th

Thank you Staci Bishop

These units have two screws that hold the "hood" in place. With the belt/brush roll cover off look on the underside for the heads of these screws. Once these are removed the top should come off. ...

My bissell brush band has come off and wont stay on thus the brush will not turn, there is also a black arm type thing on a spring inside (on both sides) on the pump belt side it has broken - the side where the brush belt is, help im searching for parts and a way to fix it but im getting no joy, incidentley the brush belt thickness looks way to thick for the small thickness for the brush belt cog (?) to stay on........am i missing something?

I have a Hoover Windtunnel U 6439-900. The agitator brush will not turn. I installed 2 new belts, # 38528034, and # 38528-035 There is so much slack in belt # 3852034 (brush drive) that it cannot grip the brush. There does not seem to be any adjustment to take up the slack. I've put in new belts twice now & cannot get brush to rotate or tighten the belt to the brush.

Brush does not roll. Flat belt and other belt are good. The other thicker belt (called V belt?) does not have tension with the brush roll. How do I make sure it is engaged? Is there a fix?
Settings are in "Carpet", "Roll-on", etc. Cleand all hair and bags/filters already.

These machines had a defective switch and a bulletin was sent out to all service depots. If you contact any Hoover Warranty Depot, they will replace the switch, wiring harness and tool receiver under a no-charge warranty. It doesn't matter how old it ...

My Eureka Boss 4870 belt keeps fraying, stretching, and breaking. When I replace the belt and turn the roller brush by hand, within just a few turns the belt drifts off center and to the left of the roller brush where it starts to rub. How do I fix this?

Last night as I was vacuuming, I noticed that the belt stop indicator light was on. I pulled out the hair that had gotten tangled around the brush in hopes of solving the problem. It didn't change things. I then unscrewed the entire bottom piece to take out the brush roller. I removed hair from the end piece of the brush roller and reattached the belt; however, I cannot figure out where the microchip is supposed to go so that I can reassemble the base piece by screwing it back together. It seems

Not sure what you mean when you refer to a "microchip" but maybe it is a sensor that works with the belt.\015\012Anyway, if you Google the make and model number of your vacuum you can probably get an exploded view or owners manual that might indicate ...

I havea Bissell ProHeat Model 7901. My problem is that the brush doesn't rotate. I have removed the access cover and both belts and found that the central cylinder for both belts is frozen and will not turn easily. Both belts are fine, except they are now burnt from this cylinder not being able to rotate. What I need is how do I remove the top cover to get at this cylinder to remove it and free it up?

Hoover Vacuum My Hoover cannister model s3614 "runabout powermax" suddenly lost power to the agitator roller in the rug brush. Where the wire cord enters the power brush, the covering has rubbed off exposing the wires which are not bare but still have their own covering. For a while the power came and went as I manipulated the wires but finally died. Is this something I can fix myself or is it going to be an expensive professional repair? (Warrantee has elapsed.)
Thanks.

Hi,My agitator brush won't run on my hoover S3590, I changed the belt, that didn't work. I don't see a possible cause in my book except replacing the belt. I think there could be a short, the brush will come on sometimes when pulling back and slightly lifting. Any ideas would be great and can I fix it myself? Thank you for any help, Bobbie

Hi Bobbie\015\012Take apart the electro floor head if you can and inspect inside - it may well be that there's clogged dust preventing the brush from turning and also check both sides of the actual beater bar as thread and tangled hair can often lead ...

Brush Hi I just bought a Kirby second hand. There is a small black rubber belt hanging off the brush. How can I take apart the bottom part of the vacume and where does this belt go to. Thanks Anita

This concerns Kenmore Progressive vacuum 21637115700 part 23 2CKG352000, the belt driven brush bar. I had to take it out for some serious cleaning and it expanded in length about a quarter inch as it is supossed to, I guess. How do I collapse it back so I can re-attach the belt and brush? Thank you

Hello. i can assist you. the bar will collapse back in one of two ways either direct pressure exerted on the ends or by a twisting motion applied to one end and or the other. use a pair of pliers or a wrench to get a grip on it if you need to. re ...

I was replacing the belt on my Eureka Smartvac 4870 and one of the felt gaskets (or part of it) popped out. I thought I put it in correctly, but the first I used it after replacing the belt, the gasket got mangled by the brush. I'm wondering how important it is to get fixed; is it a part I can pick up anywhere and fix myself? Thanks for the help.

I'm no expert but if you mean the felt on the roller, you have to replace the roller (expensive,esp. for such a minor part). So. I found some felt with adhesive in the craft section at Wal-Mart, trimmed it to fit and done deal. Felt reduces friction. ...

Hoover bagless cannister 3765 - belt on power head slips off spindle. bought new belts - same problem. is this a design problem or can it be fixed? I don't want to take it to a repair shop 100 miles away and have them just put on a new belt. saw idea of smaller belt - what number? couldn't find suggested royal 104425001 belt.

I would not recommend a smaller belt. You will only wear the motor. This model series power nozzle needs to have a metal clip installed near the belt on the brush roller housing. I know that most of them left the factory without it. Remove the cover ...

The brushes spin very, very slowly and stop altogether sometimes - like they just don't have any power behind them.I've cleaned the brushes and also turned it on without the brushes inside to see if the female plug that the brushes go into turns - it does, but not very fast. My husband said he thought he smelled something - like burning. Is there a way to take the underside cover off and clean something?

My floor brush stopped spinning, I cleaned everything out as per your directions in other posts and following the instructions in the manual. Now the floor brush wobbles and has a hard time spinning when upright. Looking at the end of the brush, opposite the drive belt, the bearing-type end that the brush spins on appears to be off-centered. Is there an easy way to fix this???

I have a Dyson DC33 bagless vacuum and the beater brush is not turning .. How do I get the cover off the brush to change the belt?

If you lay it down so you can see the bottom of the vacuum, there should be 3 flathead looking screws,just turn them a quarter turn or so, and that bottom should pop off so you can take the brush out and change the belt, just make sure you watch how ...

My Windsor Sensor XP12 says the bag is full when it's not. I have removed the hose, brush, and filter and cleaned everything. I can put a bag on without the cover and it works great. However, when I add the bag to the front cover and close the latch the right way, it does not work. I'm thinking that the cover is not seating the bag correctly over the hole, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions?

I have a dyson root cyclone. i dismantled it to replace the belt, it is not the belt which is on the roller brush, it is the belt which is from the motor, it was easy to take out as it was broken, i will get new one tomorrow now im wondering how do i fit it in.

The belt that fits on the motor is the same belt that drives the roller brush, all you need do to gain access is remove the sole plate, normally attached with 3 quarter turn connectors, use large flat screwdriver to turn them ...
